Everything Coming To Overwatch 2's First Two Seasons
After Overwatch 2 got the announcement of an upcoming early access release date of October 4 during the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, a separate Overwatch reveal event on June 16 shed some more light on the structure of the game's updates. Specifically, the reveal event showed players the new seasonal content structure and the general nature of Overwatch 2 transitioning to a free-to-play live service game. Overall, the future of Overwatch 2 looks much more in line with other live service games, with seasonal content drops bringing new heroes, maps, modes, skins, and more to Overwatch 2 in a much more consistent fashion than the first game had.

In addition to PC, unlike the game's previous closed betas, this beta will have a release on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Sign-up for the beta is currently open, and Blizzard has said that the hope is to give every player who signs up for the beta a chance to play it before July 14 at the latest. The main addition to this beta will be the new, recently announced hero, Junker Queen.
